Aniruddha: Beloved Grandson of Krishna

Stories from the Bhagawat

by Kamala Chandrakant (Story), Anant Pai (Editor)

When Usha, daughter of the asura king, Bana, dreamt of a handsome youth, she lost her heart to him completely. Little did she know that he was Aniruddha, grandson of Krishna. Nor did she ever imagine that their love would lead to a fierce battle between the Yadava forces of Krishna and the demon army of Bana, aided by the wild hordes of Shiva.

Not upto the mark of Amar Chithra Katha. Though the story is in the name of Aniruddha (grandson of Lord Krishna), there is no strength/traits of him displayed. Only because of gallantry of Krishna that he is saved.

the fact that aniruddha is for all intents and purposes completely useless in this story is so funny...he does nothing but play dice games, laze on a divan, and eventually get captured (twice!). the beginning scenes, when the princess dreams of him (very 70s psychedelic art) and her haindmaiden draws portraits of yakshas on a hundred or so banana leaves, are the best. skip? yes...i thought this was a different story.

Anirudha

This story is very intriguing. The daughter of the asura king, bringing through her friend, her beloved, is strange though very interesting. The asura, trying to imprison the youth, who is with his daughter is strange, without conferring with her. The story ends in a very nice way, though.

This was a story that I had not heard before, but it felt very rushed and simple. I know we can't expect complex stories from Amar Chitra Katha, but I did expect something more.

Anriuddha's wife's friendship with her friend was the best thing about this story. Who does that? Read the story yall. Chitralekha and her occult powers are super cool
